So what you seem to be suggesting is that the people who don't like a thing (codes of conduct) and go out of their way to try to weaponize them should be allowed to get their way (CoC should go away because of people like these). There

I'm flattered that I sound like a recent college graduate :) I've been a Unix systems administrator for more than a quarter of a century. Wild generalization: Red Hat is mostly bullshit. Their support is good at handling the myria

To be honest, you sound more like a Red Hat fanboi than someone who is making persuasive arguments. For one, you're implying that Red Hat can fix bugs and can upstream them more quickly than Rocky. Have you seen the amount of time it t

Precisely because it has 89 employees instead of 19,000, it can be MUCH faster. Have you ever tried to get support from Red Hat? Honestly? The first couple of tiers are often people who are barely computer literate. I've talked with se

As someone who runs many architectures, I do know what it means. I wasn't aware of the author's experience because Chris didn't offer any details, but that link does offer some clues. The reality is that there have always bee

This doesn't say anything meaningful. It just states some obvious things with some sort of implied value judgement with no information about how it's supposed to be bad, aside from the author's lack of experience. "you&#

In 2023, not counting x86, I'm still using seven of these great processor architectures. NetBSD support is quite good :) https://zia.io/notice/AWDclbEuAQSxu4UIZk

Funny that if you want AVX-512 now, it's AMD that's offering it and Intel that isn't. Sometimes the second comer to a game has the advantage of taking their time to implement something, with fewer compromises and a better ove

The more I read things written by right leaning people, the more I realize that they stopped caring about facts and correctness (a term they've made derogatory to the extent that it's difficult to use it literally) and instead thi

1) Unplug your hardware and do a scan of wifi networks nearby and note the channel numbers and strengths of each network. Make sure you choose a channel that's neither the same nor close to what's used by the stronger networks you

I think projects like Gentoo are philosophically similar to NetBSD and therefore might make for a good place to start for Linux on older platforms, but the number of directly supported platforms is quite a bit smaller than NetBSD's.

I'm not sure I understand the allure of running an OS that has so many distros that are almost hostile to non-mainstream platforms. When the volunteers tire of keeping their mini-distros up to date (and they often do, given enough time

Anything is that kind of portable if you're strong enough. I'm remembering walking three and a half miles carrying a VAXStation from the rail station to home... :)

To host a Wordpress (as an example) site, you need to set up Wordpress and add content. To do anything with Cloudflare, you have to set up an account and configure things. If you don't use Cloudflare, you don't have to set it up.

Amazing! There had for a long time been both cheap hardware for hacking, like Arduinos and Pis of all sorts, and also hardware for retro systems emulation that so far hasn't been all that cheap. It's nice to see more projects that

How about you actually look at your own logs on your own servers, rather than expecting people you exclude from doing your homework for you?

Absolutely bull poop. First, setting up anything using some third party service like Cloudflare is already too much work and doesn't even work for many people in parts of the world Cloudflare has determined are undesirable. Second, I c

Nah. I think we should move to 500 bit times. That'll give us the Planck time resolution from the Big Bang through the heat death of the universe.

You're replying to a post about NetBSD ;) Your statement, "But in general the OS support isn't very good," would be better framed as "But in general the Linux OS support isn't very good," because OS suppor

I'm using them precisely to make packages available for them, so I don't think it's fair at all to say they're unusable. The OS is fully, 100% supported, so we're not even talking about that. See: http://

Sure! One of my colocated servers has to be low power, so I went with an 8 gig Raspberry Pi 4 with two USB-3 attached 8 TB disks, mirrored. It runs NetBSD, and it runs well - it serves backup MX, DNS, a SearxNG instance, an rsync destinatio

No idea. I run NetBSD, and in NetBSD, everything has mainline support. No matter - there are many different kinds of Pi out there, and a non-trivial number of them have Linux mainline support, and most are substantially cheaper, better spec
